The Grand Opera House York is now licenced for wedding ceremonies.

The Grand Opera House York has just received its licence to hold wedding ceremonies, bringing a brand new and unique place for couples to tie the knot in York.

York is a popular destination for weddings and the team at the Grand Opera House are excited to be opening the building for couples to wed for the first time in recorded history.

The Theatre will be able to accommodate wedding ceremonies from 2 – 200 people and packages include the use of the stage for the wedding, access to dressing rooms for important pre-ceremony touch ups, drinks packages in the beautifully refurbished bars and exclusive use of the newly launched Ambassador Theatre Lounge. Couples will then have the option to have their reception and breakfast at one of the many extraordinary venues across York.

Laura McMillan, Theatre Director for the Grand Opera House York, says ‘we are thrilled to provide couples with the opportunity to wed in the iconic surroundings of the Grand Opera House. Our stage has hosted stars from Gary Barlow to Vivien Leigh and is a truly dramatic place to get married’

Dates are available from August this year and any interested couples are encouraged to contact yorkweddings@theambassadors.com for more information and to arrange a site visit.
